Using Suse 10.1 and Wine Version 0.9.11 the BlackBox really runs nice under Linux.
All the Gui-Elements work (which was an problem with previous versions of wine),
even Database-Interfacing using ODBC is possible.

In fact I do have a 24/7 Web-Application running under Linux and Wine using the BlackBox.

If you point to http://www.emkg.de you can just have a look at it.

Behind the scenes our new Web-Server-Framework runs on BlackBox using Wine,
redirecting graphical output to an XVnc X-Server. We do have an Init-Script that
starts the Web-Server upon booting and haven't had any stabillity problem since
going productive, which was about 2 months ago.

To get it straight:
For us the BlackBox on Linux is perfectly usable.

Another thing:
Our customers can decide if they want to run the application
under Windows or Linux without the need to provide two different builds.

It even can run as an Windows-Service by the help of AppToService.
